Booked To Speak Again
I’ve been lined up to do a seminar at the MacGathering and SoHo Tech Show again this year, which runs May 19th & 20th at the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn in Studio City, CA. I’ll be presenting my “Mac Tuneup” talk for users who are not technically minded, and prefer to stay that way. Simple, effective maintenance - presented in a simple, effective way.
If you’re a SoCal resident, and Mac user (duh), this show is for you. There will be lots of cool vendors to speak with, as well as great seminars that cover the gamut of all things Mac. I had a ball as a speaker for the first time last year, and plan to have even more fun this time around. Seriously… Consider coming out to join in the fun if you can.
Has This Happened to You?
If you’re an iBook G4 owner, I’d like to know if this has happened to you too. You can see from the image below that I’ve developed a nasty crack in the palm rest of my trusty “little white” iBook 14″. This crack is NOT from dropping it (before one of you makes that comment). Rather, it is a stress fracture that has grown over the last few months, I presume from the fact that I rest my left wrist at just that spot.
I’ve looked high and low for a replacement part online. I came across one once, but lost the link or forgot to bookmark it. Either way, I’m curious to know if any readers have had the same problem & how did you take care of it? Did you replace the palm rest yourself, or have an authorized repair shop do it for you? Or did you break out a tube of super glue & do a patch job on your own? What were the results? Better yet, were you able to find the part online and know where I can get my hands on it?
The crack is starting to bug me now, as it looks pretty ugly. Plus, I’m worried that the whole corner is going to come off eventually. I’m going to be revamping trusty “little white” this week (bigger hard drive, max the ram, new battery & replacement keyboard) and wouldn’t mind fixing this as part of it.

Cache Out X 4.7.2 Released
It’s been a while coming, but I finally got off my back side and wrapped up development on Cache Out X. It’s available for download over at NoName Scriptware. Go grab yours here.
This version addresses the following issues:
- Built as a Universal Binary for Intel machines
- Fixed a bug that prevented the secure removal of internet related files
- Changed user domain cache cleaning to no longer require authentication
- Added methods to remove invalid keychain entries for the application
- Several other under-the-hood code optimizations
